Cultural Marxism in America: WORDS AND NARRATIVES (Segment 14)

In this segment of "America Under Fire — The Old Guy Speaks," we explore the influential role that words and narratives play in shaping society, particularly how they can be manipulated to control public perception and behavior. Drawing on the insights of economist Joseph Schumpeter and the respected commentator Jim Rickards, the segment discusses how Marxists and other ideologues have learned to weaponize language to undermine democratic societies. The control of words and narratives allows those in power to define reality according to their agenda, leading to the indoctrination of younger generations who are no longer taught critical thinking or history but are programmed to accept official narratives without question.

The segment warns of the dangers of this approach, citing examples like climate alarmism, pandemic narratives, and the erosion of free speech under the guise of combating "misinformation." It also highlights how this manipulation extends into various aspects of society, including education, media, and government. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing these tactics and the need for vigilance in defending truth and free speech. The segment concludes with recommendations for further reading on the subject, including works by Naomi Wolf and Senator Ted Cruz, which provide deeper insights into the battle against cultural Marxism and the importance of courage and resistance in these challenging times.
